Heaven, West Virginia SC Spotlight

 


Figuring out who we are can be hard. Our parents train us in the way they think we should go. But ultimately, each of us must follow the path we deem best for us. How will Lamont forge his future in the wake of his father's passing?

Here's all the info from Oni Press: 

HEAVEN, WEST VIRGINIA SC

WRITTEN/ART/COVER BY RAVI TEIXEIRA


Lamont’s father was not a good man. And now Lamont’s father is dead.


When Lamont arrives in the tiny Appalachian town of Heaven, West Virginia, its lush landscape feels stubbornly at odds with the roiling anxiety that’s come to define his inner life. Living there and learning the art of foraging and tea-making from his kind, stoic aunt LaToya should be idyllic—even a paradise. But in the shadows of Heaven’s woods, Lamont sees a dark, hulking figure, long, glimmering teeth, and piercing red eyes. No one else seems to see this beast . . . not his aunt, and not the handsome cowboy, Coyote, whose gentle voice evokes the comforting, electric aroma of LaToya’s brews. Escaping its voraciously hungry pursuit feels impossible, and Lamont will have to face more than the darkness of the woods to do so.


A singular and seductive meditation on the complexity of grief, healing, and the power of the natural world by cartoonist Ravi Teixeira (A Quick & Easy Guide to Coming Out).
